Two months after the release of Go3, I can finally explain in detail why this movie is a disgrace to Terry Pratchett’s memory and non-canonical slop.
I apologize in advance for getting an emotional. First of all I've been part of the fandom for many years, ever since I read the book.
Well, what they shoved down our throats in GO3 might have appealed to younger fans. But listen up, kids: no show with a good plot, truly relatable characters, and well-developed relationships has ever ended well. Because despite the times we live in, this whole fucking industry hates people who are “different” from others and hates gay people, and doesn’t wish them well or happiness in the universe where they deserved it and according to canon were supposed to get it. So kids go ahead and look for millions of reasons and meanings in all this crap, as if this is how the story was supposed to end. No it wasn’t. And there's no need to use a modest budget as an excuse it shouldn't have affected the PLOT or the CHARACTERS.
First regarding Azirafael’s alleged opinion of Crowley. Azirafael NEVER considered him a beautiful and pure angel; that idea is so ridiculous that it only crossed fans’ minds when they were writing fanfiction filled with extreme misrepresentations. For a very brief time, Azirafael was FIRMLY convinced that the Nazis were working for Crowley, that the unrest in France was Crowley’s doing, and that he was going to kill the child. And Azi loved him for that—for his nature as a bold show-off and an unquestionably genuine little demon—with the sole caveat that he likes humanity and is just a tiny bit good. (I hope everyone understands that the good/evil dichotomy DOESN’T ACTUALLY WORK. And the fact that demons pursue their goals out of a desire for revenge against Heaven or even just to get a damn promotion—doesn’t mean their nature makes them indifferent to all the nightmares and horrors of eternal life.)
Second reincarnation as such simply cannot exist without God, Satan, and miracles, which undermines the entire supposedly happy ending. Plus once again, the theme of free will versus fate leaves no room for Aziracrow to be reborn and love each other in a way that doesn’t contradict the plot. Because that would imply that the first season was a mess and a mistake, and that it means nothing. After all, Azirafael and Crowley weren’t brought together by any kind of fate, because in the series, all the characters literally prove that the will of a human/angel/demon is what the universe is based on. Crowley and Azirafael CHOSE each other living side by side for thousands of years despite their fear of being exposed.
+ In the first season Adam and the kids show us how important it is to be able to FIX things, rather than wipe everything out. So why the hell do the Aziracrow's decide to destroy everything and start over (which is exactly what they were fighting against in Season 1)?
In the episode about Job’s children, we’re presented with and it’s explained to us the idea that “new” children aren’t needed to replace the old ones, cus that won’t ease the pain; it just doesn’t work that way. You can’t take away or destroy a living being and simply create a new one by saying, “This is your child too; sure, he’s different, but that doesn’t matter.” So why do the ineffable husbands think the ending is happy and logical? It’s nonsense; it’s absurd.
So it’s just in Crowley’s nature to choose Azirafael whom he has defended and loved for 6,000 years. Yes, he loves humans too but there has never been a single instance where he would have chosen humanity over an angel. Never, not once in two seasons.
And even though he could have asked for anything, he asks for death for himself and his one and only Angel. The two of them could literally have written in the books what would come to pass why didn’t Crowley with his demonic imagination, think of that? And the way Azirafael was portrayed as so stupid and selfish toward Crowley in GO3 is just ridiculous. They had the power to do anything, but they chose a double suicide – it’s just mind-blowing. I suppose we got this plot because God – in the form of the screenwriters – believes that these two are unworthy and don’t deserve their immortal happiness in their universe.
And this damn fanfic at the end was created solely to comfort kids who were devastated by the deaths of their favorite characters. And maybe it worked for them, but I’ve seen this happen more than once – enough to analyze the situation and understand how it all works and why we ended up with this crap instead of a worthy and truthful ending for our beloved and ONE AND ONLY ineffable husbands.
+ I’d like to add: People who say that this is exactly the ending Terry Pratchett would have wanted are just a disgrace. TP even brought the delivery man back to life and preserved the material possessions that were important to Azi and Crowley, and yet you’re saying he would have wanted to destroy the entire universe and the main characters? The very idea portrayed in the movie is an insult to Terry’s memory.
So I hope the screenwriters and everyone truly involved in this piece of shit burn in hell.
(Of course, I deeply love and respect the actors – just in case people want to give me a hard time and decide that I hate them too.)
thanks for attention
to the world
